    I don't want to wait 6+ weeks this time :laughing: Also need to swap out the AALs for a real leaf pack when I do.

    Summer has ended and holiday season is upon us, thus my mod funds have gone back into hibernation for another ~9 months *sigh*

    Kings, full set of Budbilt skids and a URD 7th injector kit....summer of 2017 'twas a good run.

    Word. I had a good mod run this summer as well. Pissed off the wife though and I promised that I wouldn't spend anymore on the truck this year.

    I really need to figure out the clunk in the front suspension and get new rotors and pads.

    Look at you trying to copy everyone else and calling me a bandwagon. So cute. At least I can change my own flat tire

    lol, yeah I'm just giving them a hard time. I would happily order from HS again, but I'd definitely call first to make sure they're in stock this time. They still have some of the best prices and the best customer service around.

    Some more pics from last night's install, took me about 2 hours total and that was me taking my time with a few beers in-between. Could definitely be done in under an hour if you wanted to.

    The front sits much more evenly now than it did before, I had a good 2" rake in the back with the 5100s/881s. If the Kings settle a bit then I'll adjust the preload but as of right now I'm happy with the stance. I can hit the gnarly speed bumps at work without breaking my spine now, until my rear wheels hit them 1 second later :(

    Yes indeed. I'll do that when I get my Budbilt skids on hopefully next weekend. Definitely don't think I can do those solo, lol. Heavy AF

    yeah I thought about that actually when I was at Harbor Freight the other day, good prices on floor jacks there. Might have to pick one up

    Good deal. Yeah I was a little sketched out using the hi-lift to jack up the truck last night, I bought it used off of a guy on here a year ago and this was my first time using one (aside from that one time at @SlipperyTaco's pad with @digitaLbraVo's hi-lift that dropped the truck when I tried using it, lol). My used one worked great though, I was pretty happy with it.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.

    haha, I made sure to watch a few youtube videos on using them before attempting it and that was the first thing they said to do. Used some of the Tri-Flow on it and it seemed to work well
